Core 2's

[Rusteh]

So the core 2's have been released but I haven't heard nor read much of anything about them yet...any word on performance or the such?

 

[Hurt911gen]

ummm I know OCing them is very easy. I read that 2.9 cores OC to 3.45 with no problems thanks to the lock-free feature...

i'm not swithing my 660 for a while though :tard

 

[Mrs Behavin]

I dont know what that is. Can you tell me please?

 

[Rusteh]

the new pentium chip

actually their easier to overclock because of that and the bigger l2 caches.

thank ya my dahling

its a pentium? i thought it was the core duo? nope, im thinking of conroe and yanah or something like that :banana

 

[Rusteh]

conroe is the core technology in the pentium chip but their retail name are the core 2's or core 2 duo's.

why do you think i like the following naming schema:

478 pentium 4 3.0e ghz

socket, processor, speed


real easy to understand. unlike:

775 pentium 4 560j.

that doesnt tell me much past the socket and processor. 560j = nothing to me... except thats the new schema intel uses. unfortunately, i fucking hate it.

and i hear amd is good for gaming :cool

 

[Rusteh]

the new core 2's are supposed to be better then amd's but that's kind of the reason i want to get some input on them...are their worth the hype or is the bark worse then it's bite?

well, as we all know, last gen pentiums always generated more heat then the comparable amd offering.

and now there is two individual cores... :tard

imagine the water cooling & overclocking...

the Core 2s utterly distroy anything AMD currently have to offer. The Intel Duel Core Xeons re toatal monsters

 

[Rusteh]

the xeon's are for servers however...not much for 3d processing...but the conroe's from what I hear are just going to blow the AMD's away until the new AMD's are released
